This is very interesting. What is happening is that your receiver is
losing its "lock" with the s/pdif signal. This is corroborated by the
fact that you don't hear this on the analog outputs.

The thing is, there is nothing special about track boundaries as far as
our s/pdif implementation is concerned. But... track transitions as
mastered on the CD often contain digital silence (all zeroes). SB3 will
obediently output this digital silence, but:

Digital silence is a something of a special case for s/pdif because of
the way the signal is encoded electrically. It is more difficult for a
receiver to lock on to because the timing has a very uneven
distribution.

So it is quite possible that trying a different cable or trying toslink
might help.

It is also possible that there is a hardware or software bug in your
processor/DAC. It may be doing something weird when it sees digital
silence. You could test that by opening a music file is a sound editor,
and then selecting various sections of the file and changing them to
digital silence. So you'd have a single track containing sections of
music followed by silence, followed by music etc. Then see if it has
any trouble playing that file. This would remove any track transition
behavior from the question - if this fails then it is definitely a
fault with either the electrical connection or the processor.
